Mastectomy Bras
Mastectomy bras range in as many styles, sizes and colors as fashion bras.  Mastectomy bras are also called pocketed bras because they have a thin mesh or thin cotton pocket inside the cup that the breast form fits inside of.  These pocketed bras are also covered by ALMOST every insurance; the standard for most are 2 bras per year, however, remember each insurance company and each policy is different.

POST-SURGICAL BRAS / CAMISOLES
Most post-surgical bras are very soft with less construction.  They, of course, are designed to wear immediately following surgery when you are still a little swollen and your incisions are not yet healed.  They can be worn while sleeping for years.  The Jodee post-surgical was designed to provide more support, opens in both front and back, has a back extension that can be removed when the swelling has gone down and has velcro-on-pockets that hold your drain tubes. 

Camisoles are also designed to wear immediately following surgery and are also very soft, have pockets for a very soft 'puff' that won't affect your incisions.

LEISURE BRAS
These bras are a cross between post-surgical and a sports bras.  They are soft, have pockets and can hook in the front or back.  Many people wear leisure bras exclusively because of their comfort.

POCKETED BRAS
DO NOT WEAR a pocketed or standard bra with a weighted silicone breast form until 5 to 6 weeks after surgery.  You need that much time for the swelling to go down and the incisions to heal properly.  Look at the post-surgery / leisure bras during this time.

Pocketed bras are the bras you will wear for the rest of you life.  Bras are designed for every life style; some are covered with beautiful lace and come in various colors, some are designed for full coverage and provide the support for a very full figured woman.  All have pockets inside each cup to hold the breast form.  Remember each fashion and mastectomy bra is designed for a different type body
